A fearsome foursome coming soon.

Eidos today announced that it will release four new downloadable maps for Kane & Lynch: Dead Men, all packaged into one map pack titled "1028747'>The Dope Bag." The real kicker is that this quartet of new death-dealing environments comes to both Xbox Live and PlayStation Network completely free of charge on April 17. The four maps include Clean Cut, a Russian mafia-run L.A. construction site; Hooker's Trail, which houses a clash with the Yakuza in Tokyo; Flying High, where gamers will raid a drug lord's mansion in Venezuela; and Hasta La Vista, an ambush mission against General Fuentes' military convoy in the streets of Havana.

All four of these new stages will only be playable within the game's inventive Fragile Alliance multiplayer mode. Eight players team up against an enemy force and are sent to steal the opposition's bounty and make it to a getaway point. There's a moral dilemma that spices things up a bit when players must make the decision whether to kill their teammates and keep the loot for themselves or split it amongst the rest of the squad.

Like a scene from Bad Boys II.

"With Fragile Alliance we set out to offer gamers a new experience in co-op multiplayer, giving players the choice to work as a team or backstab their teammates and work for themselves at any moment," said Kim Krogh, Lead Game Designer, IO Interactive. "The response to Fragile Alliance has been fantastic and these new maps will serve to grow the Fragile Alliance online community even further."

The Dope Bag map pack will go live on Xbox Live and PlayStation Network on April 17.
